Congratulations on such a fantastic looking amp..

Where might I ask did you source the knobs from?

I've noticed my build is a bit sensitive to mains power junk. I suspect it's comming from the heater supply so I have a couple tricks up my sleeve I'd like to try. This amp will end up in my office where the mains is very noisy due to many industrial influences, so I'm going to need some extra effort to keep the power clean.
1. DC heaters. I hate these but sometime you have to do it. I've got a nice regulated 6.3v supply that I can just drop in thanks to the external heater wiring of the Bijou. The rectifier will stay on AC since any heater noise from there will get filtered out by the power supply. Polarity should be important due to the LED. 2. Replace R8 on power supply with 10H 270ohm choke. May need to tweak R7. I owe some voltage measurements which are on the to-do list. Any thoughts folks? |
